A photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard with a gilded shrine behind. A long-haired man in orange robes and a leopard-print shawl stands on a red carpet, facing a man in a white shirt who is reaching toward him. To the left, saffron-robed priests carry silver trays of offerings, and white-clad attendants stand nearby. Behind them, a deity murti with flower garlands sits in a gold-framed shrine. A gold throne with red cushions stands at right, and a golden pedestal holds an offering tray in the foreground. The man in the leopard shawl matches the presentation of Swamiji (probable) through his long swept-back hair, saffron robes and distinctive leopard shawl.
